Big breakthrough for Bradley Nkoana ๐ฟ๐ฆ!
The South African sprint sensation powered to a new PB of 9.95s (1.6) to win the men's 100m at the Immobel Meeting in Belgium.
With the performance, Nkoana becomes the 12th South African man to break the 10-second barrier and moves up to 7th on the country's all-time list.
Luvo Manyonga ๐ฟ๐ฆ jumped a mark 8.35m (+2.6) to win the men's Long Jump at Grand Slam Jerusalem, his best (all-conditions) mark since returning to competitive action.
He was a class above the field, dominating the competition and even offering coaching tips to some of his fellow competitors during the contest.
Gabriel Bitan ๐ท๐ด finished 2nd with a best leap of 7.91m.
Which South Africans? You are a senator who pays attention to random social media commentary? What is the OFFICIAL position of the government of South Africa and what is the status quo? Do you know why SA's Health Minister had downplayed the US's PEPFAR withdrawal ANNOUNCEMENT?
Let me educate you. Motsoaledi is chilled because South Africa funds the majority its HIV/AIDS response itself. 74 -80% comes from SA. 17-21% from PEPFAR and 2-7% from Global Fund and other donors.
Meanwhile, Nigeria's government consistently spends well below the 15% of national budgets that AU countries committed to. You have poorly equipped hospitals and clinics, your system operates intermittently with devastating consequences for the poor. You are a popular case study at many global convenings that I moderate.
You have poor sanitation and have the highest malaria burden in the world. Never mind HIV/AIDS. You had poor federal -state coordination for Covid19. I know. I moderated a WHO-AFRICA Summit on this in 2022, in Togo. Your officials and experts were pouring their hearts out.
So shut your trap. Senator.
this is REALLY one of the things you hate about poverty? like if you were to list the things you hate about poverty, different school terms are up there ????

Being the first person to present after the coffee break is not easy.
But if you can win back a room full of people thinking about coffee, emails, and snacks, you are doing better than you think.
